About a year ago my mom found all these amazing ornaments in storage. These ornaments sat there for almost 20 years.

She asked me if I wanted them. Of course being the hoarder I am I jumped on the idea.

I remember her putting up these ornaments when I was a little girl. When we moved to a more modern house she decided to retire these vintage pieces.

Lucky me...I have "new" great vintage ornaments to decorate the tree in our loft.

I decided to make a little tutorial. I have no idea if this is the correct or right way to decorate a tree but this is how I decorated this tree.

[S T E P 1] Make sure your lights work on the tree if you have a pre-lit tree. I know this step is pretty simple but trust me it is SO frustrating finishing a tree to find it does not light. It has happened to me!!

Is there an area of the house you despise cleaning? You know what task I absolutely hate doing? Cleaning the refrigerator. Seriously, I dread thinking about it. My husband has been commenting about the look of ours for the past month.

Hey now, you know you can clean it out too.

Well, I finally decided to take matters into my own hands.

Here is before {gross}

And the after….

The yuckiest thing I found in there - well no, not the salsa that expired in 2009 - a rotten tomato. Yeah, I won’t share that photo!

I wanted to give you all a glimpse of the real, unorganized, me.

On a side note, I would like to thank Mickey Mouse Club House and Harrison’s play mat for keeping Evelyn occupied while I cleaned. It is funny how she enjoys baby toys more than her own! Oh, and she is going through a “no pants” phase. Hopefully, this will end soon...

As for that mudroom remodel, here is a sneak peek.

Ha, I promise this wasn't staged. I'm that annoying wife in the way taking photos during projects.

Big sister even enjoys having her little brother around. Although we are taking "nice hands" one day at a time. She really likes to snuggle him in blankets (ehhh, on his face) so I am watching her constantly.
